Analysis of Within This Poem.
Teresa Whitney 1951 (Tacoma)
Can you try, and visualize,
The message within this poem,
As you read it over, and over,
Knowing I feel alone,
Within the letter's I have written,
A story shall unfold,
All the mysteries from within,
Now seem to be so old,
As you too pass through this time,
Hear the ticking of the clock,
Silence now left unforsaken,
A love forever sought,
Can you just visualize,
What it is I say,
As you sit, and read this poem,
Once again this day.
